The next morning I got up early and walked to the recovery room. Char was sitting up as Callie and Marie ask her questions.
"Char, are you still loopy?" Callie shook her
"I'm dizzy… I want Marie's dress…" Char giggled and coughed.
"Yup, totally still loopy" Marie patted her on the head.
"I think my feet aren't the same size. I'm hot in here, (cough, cough) can I take off my clothes?"
"NO!" Callie shouted
"But I wanna…"
"Look I have a cookie!" Marie quickly pulled out a cookie, "be good or else you can't have it!"
"Cookie!" Char took the cookie and started nibbling on it.
"Good girl, now stay!"
"I am a girl? How are you so sure? (Cough) Can I see?"
Char started lifting up her gown, but Callie slapped her hands.
"OWWIE! Wahhh! Callie's being mean to me! (cough, cough, cough)"
"Look here's another cookie!" Callie handed her another cookie
"Yay cookie!" Char nibbled on the other cookie.
"So now what do we do? She's still loopy."
"Guess we can only wait"
"I peed in the bed when I was 13! "
Callie and Marie just stared at each other and back at her. Char giggled as she finished up the cookie.
"That's nice… Char…" Callie patted her head.
"OH! Hey there blue (wheeze) mister man" Char waved at me and the squid sister turned around
"Oh, morning Dylan" Callie greeted me, "How are your wounds?"
"Heheheh… That's not Dylan. Dylan's a-"
"Look another cookie!" Marie handed her another cookie.
"Wee!" She started nibbling on the cookie, "I like chip chocolate cookies. They're crunchy… (cough, wheeze)"
"Ah boy that was close…" Marie sighed, "Good thing we brought cookies with the us…"
"Oh my cut's getting better, and I guess I am good." I answered
"Wow you do sound like Dylan…" Char chirped up "I really like him! (cough) He's very nice and warm. I like to cuddle with him when I sleep. Heheh..."
I started blushing bright red. Callie and Marie started giggling at us.
"Oh my sounds like you two are pretty close…" Callie started teasing me
"I-i-it's not like that!" I stammered, "It was just cold in that room, and she was having trouble sleeping!"
"You didn't DO anything to her did you?" Marie crossed her arms
"NO!"
"Why are people shouting?!" Char hid under her blankets
I walked up to her and peeked under the sheets. Char hugged my head.
"Hehehe… I caught my prey heheh… You are warm… I like you…" Char ruffled my "tentacles"
"Char… please let go"
"But why?...(cough) I don't… understand why we can't be friends…(cough, cough, cough)" she released me.
"What? Char, what are you saying?"
"It hurts, (cough, cough) knowing that we can't be friends just because we are different … Am I supposed to hate you? (cough)"
"No, Char I was wrong… I was just upset… I said something I shouldn't have and I am sorry."
"I don't feel so good…" She laid back down, "It's so cold…"
Marie walked back up to her and touched her forehead.
"She's burning up… Callie get the doctor!" She replied.
"Char, are you okay?!" I took her hand, it was indeed very warm
"It's very… cold… my chest hurts..." she muttered
The doctors came in with Marigo and checked her temperature. They connected her to another IV drip.
"No… I don't wanna! Stop it!" Char became frantic, as she struggled and began to cried
They held her down and injected her with sedation. She squirmed around before knocking out completely.
"Char was very scared of the doctors," Marigo replied, "She pretty much terrified of them, and hid every time I told her we'll be going to the doctors. But that was years ago. What did Erazor do to her?"
The doctor gently covered her forehead with a wet towel, the nurses wiped her body down.
"I tortured her… " the doctor muttered, "I may have broke her"
"E-erazor?!" Marigo stepped back,
"Sorry, we got worried about the two" the nurse replied, "I secured the area and locked everyone in a closet"
"Mimi that is taking everything too far!"
All of the medical staff took their mask and revealed, Aria, Chomp, and Mimi in inkling form. Connie was in Chomp's clothes.
"You call that medical treatment?!" Connie climbed down from Chomp's shoulders
"Well we aren't doctors Connie…" Chomp replied, "We don't know squidly about medicine"
"I only know the basics…" Aria replied, "part of royalty upbring. That class was a pain. At least I got to see you right after."
"Nobody asked…" Chomp muttered
"I just thought you would like to know that…. Akkie…"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT! IT'S CHOMP!" she turned bright red
"But Akkie's much cuter than Chomp…"
"THE INK IS GOING ON HERE?!" Callie shouted
"Hey aren't you two the Squid Sisters?" Chomp tilted her head
"I'll explain a bit later okay?" Marigo sighed, "they are good Octolings"
"All done!" Connie returned.
"Huh? What did you do?" I asked
"I gave them proper treatment, and now they should recover so much quicker"
"Wow how'd you do that?"
"I was a medical student since forever…"
"Yeah, she has done almost all the surgery in Octopia, and check ups… nearly everything..." Chomp replied
"Wow you are a doctor?!" I asked
"Yup here's my license" Connie pulled out
"Whoa! That's insane!" Callie took Connie's license
"Yup."
"What?... Where I am?" Leon's voice muttered from the other side
"Leon!" I ran to the other side and he looked over at me
"Hey there…"
"Leon! You are okay!"
"I hurt and ache everywhere, but I'll live… I guess"
"Yup ain't Octarian medicine the best?" Connie smiled
I hugged him and he yipped.
"D-Dylan.. That really hurts…" Leon cringed, "Please let go…"
"Oh sorry…" I released him, "I was just so happy and relieved"
"Oh heh, that's kinda embarrassing, but I am happy to hear that"
Leon flash pink for a second as he scratched his head.
"Hey there… Umm sorry about attacking you…" Erazor walked in and Leon jumped, "Opps that's going to hurt…"
Leon was crying as he curled into a ball. I helped him back onto his bed.
"I don't know if I could forgive you for what you did to Char…" Leon rubbed his arm
"Well, I guess that is only natural…" Erazor scratched his cheek with one of his claws
"Humph, neither can I…" Mimi crossed her arms
"Mimi… I said I was sorry… I'm nothing without you!" He turned into a blue ringed octopus and held on to her leg, "I can't live without you!"
"Get off! I'm still mad at you!" She tried to kick him off
"MIMI!"
"Umm so um what are your plans now?" Leon asked
"Well I guess we'll lay low here for a while…" Aria replied, "We don't really have a place to go to yet. I think it's a great place to get to know Akkie better."
"In your dream!" Chomp looked away
"Aww come on don't be like that…"
"We should probably head back before they wake up. Let's go Connie."
"Coming!" Connie answered.
They remove the medical uniform and left. Connie took Chomp's hand and they walked together back to the lab. Aria discarded her uniform and followed them out. Mimi finally got Erazor off and threw him. She ran off. He slid down from the wall and chased after her.
"Get back here! You can't just run off without answering our questions!" Callie and Marie ran after them.
A small knock on the door and Chizel opened the door. He walked in with a pink Inkling girl.
"Leon!" the pink Inkling ran over to him
"Hey, Ruby…" he smiled at her
"I heard you were at the hospital! What happened?"
"Uh, I got into a fight? Yeah, a pretty bad one I guess"
"Well, I got you something…" She pulled out a container, "You probably are starving…"
When she opened the lid off and the smell of bacon filled the air. Leon was practically drooling.
"BACON!" Leon jumped out of his bed and instantly regretted it, "OW!
"Leon!" Ruby and I helped him.
She handed him the container and Leon happily munched away. She turned and looked at me.
"Hello there, I don't believe we've met before." She adjusted her glasses and held out her hand, "I'm Ruby Blank. I'm Leon's friend. What's your name?"
"Hes mnamem ems mDylanm" Leon replied with his mouth full of bacon
"Um, Dylan, my name is Dylan" I shook her hand
"Ah, that's what I thought Leon said…" she giggled, "What a funny name… Oh well nice to you, Dylan"
Someone kicked the door open, and an orange boy Inkling ran in followed by an older dark green one.
" CHIZEELL! OMG! ARE YOU HURT?!" The orange Inkling grabbed Chizel's face, "LIKE SPEAK TO ME MAN!"
"Maybe you should let go of Chizel's face, Mango…" The green one muttered
"OH! Oops, like sorry, Chizel"
"Ow..." Chizel rubbed his cheek, "Mango, Varday, what brings you two here?"
"I heard from Big Bro that you and everyone got hurt" Mango replied, "Oh like, where's Jazzy at?"
"She's still in the other room..."
"I'M COMING JAZZY!" Mango ran out of the room
"Welp there he goes again…" Varday sighed, "He'll be fine considering Robin is the head doctor"
"Ah, Robin… How is he doing?" Chizel asked, "I haven't seen him for awhile"
"Hey! No running in the hall!" someone cried out
"SORRY!" Mango called back
"Oh boy…" Varday sighed, "Oh well, I don't feel like chasing him… You guys do have some explaining to do"
"Oh that's right." Ruby pointed out,"Everyone" saw small glimpses of you guys on TV after the airwaves were hijacked… It was very fuzzy though."
"Yeah we could only make out your voices… Though there was some voices we didn't know, but whatever… You guys are safe…"
"We couldn't sit still when Char's life was in danger…" Leon replied , "What did you want us to do?"
"It's okay, Leon. We're not saying you did a bad thing…" Ruby rubbed her arm, "It's just… please be more careful…"
"Oh…" Leon swallowed his saliva, "Sorry, I worried you Ruby…"
Jazzy and Mango returned back into the room. Mango held on to her.
"Jazzy, like I'm so happy everyone is like okay and stuff" Mango cheered
"So this is where everyone is…" Jazzy replied
"Hey! Like who are you?" Mango darted at me, "I haven't seen you before! Heheh…. The name's Mango, cutie!"
"Oh, um… Dylan…" I shook his hand
"Oooh, he's got manners too! Charmed, Dylan."
"Hey, you are staring at him a bit too much," Leon's ears folded back
"Oh, my what's this?! Are you jelly Leon?" Mango covered his mouth
"WHAT?! NO! DON'T BE AN IDIOT!" Leon turned bright pink, "IT'S RUDE TO STARE!"
"Aww, Leon wants some TLC. Don't worry I'll take great care of you too!"
Mango hugged Leon and Leon began sulking as he sunk into his sheets. Chizel just scratched his face.
"How long are you going to keep cuddling him?" Varday sighed
"I can do this forever!" Mango change into a squid and jumped into Leon's arms
"No." Leon dropped him, but Mango held onto his face.
"Nope, not until you feel better!"
"SPLAT ME!" Leon whined
Char slowly sat up. She still looked dazed.
"Hey, there are so many people here…" She looked around, "I like green tea…"
"She's still loopy?" I asked.
"She's loopy?! OOO!" Mango ran over to her, "Hey there Char! Tell me something about Leon!"
"Leon? He eats a lot of food. I wonder how he doesn't gain any weight… Hahah… Chubby Leon would be funny… Hey did you know I am agen-"
"HEY CHAR! What's that?" Jazzy shouted
"AHHH ! WHERE?!" Char smacked Mango's face.
"OWWIE! That really hurt…"
"Sorry… Mango. Hey Mango's a fruit… Can I eat you? I like sweet mango with sticky rice..."
"... uh, no…"
"Oh.. okay… You know I like Dylan… He's so very warm… You should sleep with him in bed. He can warm up the bed. Hahaha..."
"Oh my…" Mango looked at me and I started blushing, "What do you say about that?"
"I-I-" stammered
"NO! GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!" Leon threw his pillow at Mango
"Hey Char… tell me does Leon or Chizel like anyone?" Mango smirked
"Like? Like like-like? I think they really like-"
"NOOOOO!" Both Leon and Chizel flashed red.
"Wahh…. People are yelling at me again…"
"Char tell me who they like! I am dying to know!"
"Who? Are we talking about?"
"Leon and Chizel!"
"They like cake! I like cake too! Can I have some cake?"
"C-cake?"
"OF COURSE YOU CAN!" Chizel covered Mango's mouth, "I'LL GO GET SOME FOR YOU WITH MANGO!"
"Really?!" Mango squealed.
Chizel dragged Mango out of the room.
"Wee… I get cake! I going to eat some cake!"
"Hello Char" Varday walked up to her
"Hiya mister!"
"How are you feeling?"
"I feel funny… Can I have a piggy back ride?"
"Heh… I think Marigo would get mad if I do that"
"Aww okay."
"Ah, you are a good squid aren't you?" he petted her
"Yay!" Char happily twitched her ears
"You should rest okay?"
"Can Dylan sleep with me?"
"..." Varday looked over at me "...er...sure?"
"Yay!" She pulled me into the bed and cuddled with me
Varday tilted his head, and I turned a deep red. I shrugged and Varday just smiled and scratched his cheek. He walked over and petted me.
"Be good you two." He sat down in a chair
Jazzy walked up to us and snapped a picture of us.
"Jazzy, um, how are you feeling?" I asked her
"My shoulder's still pretty sore, but why should you worry about that?" She snapped at me.
"Jazzy, I am so sorry. I was stupid, and I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"
"Fine… but just this once. Those look nice on you…"
She flashed pink for a second and looked away. A knock on the door caught our attention. A pale teal Inkling in a doctor's uniform came into the room.
"Geez, what's with today? I get shoved into the closet in my boxers…" He muttered, "Oh Leon, you are up"
"Hey Robin. How are you doing?" Ruby greeted him.
"Well, um I honestly don't know. Today is just kinda weird. Nevermind me though. Leon you look so much better. How are you doing?"
"I am doing okay." Leon answered, "I feel a bit sore and tired, but okay I guess."
"That is rather amazing I was afraid you were going to die…"
"I was going to die?"
"Without the machine pumping ink through our body you were doomed to die by tomorrow."
"Ah.. I see…" Leon fell back into his bed, "I don't really know what to say about that…"
"It was that bad?" Jazzy covered her mouth.
"Ack! I didn't mean to worry you all!" Robin covered his mouth, "Oh boy… I made a mess… Sorry"
"Hey we're back!" Mango ran in with the cake box in his arms
"Mango, why do you have cake?" Robin asked
"Char wanted some so me and Chizel got some! Oh! You guys are sleeping to together! HOW CUTE!"
I turned even redder when Char nuzzled against my chest as she moved closer to me. Mango was pretty much just ecstatic about this. Varday just smiled and scratched his head. Robin just sighed.
"Mango! I told you to not run…" Chizel was catching his breath at the door, "Eh?"
"Come on Dylan! Now's your chance!" Mango cheered
"What?!" I started blushing
"You know!" he made a kissy face
"WHAT?! NO! I-I-I CAN'T!"
"Huh?" Char woke up, "ACK! WHO ARE YOU?!"
She jumped out of bed but the handcuffs made her hit her head against the bed.
"Char!" Robin and Varday ran over to her
"Oww…" Char was tearing up, "What is going on?"
"Oh boy, I told them the handcuffs would be a too much…" Robin sighed and helped her up, "I am so sorry Char."
"Robin why am I handcuffed? Where I am?" she rubbed her head, "and who are you?"
"How's about you sit down first okay?" Varday checked her head, "Oh, it became a bump… Well don't jump next time sport."
He petted her and she smiled.
"Varday!" She hugged him
"Huh? I thought you two were BF and GF…" Mango replied
"Silly Char! You know Dylan! Right?!" Jazzy nudged her.
"Dylan?" She covered her mouth, "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry Dylan."
"Nevermind that are you okay?" I asked walking to her.
"I have a bump on my head, but I guess I'm okay."
"Can I see?"
"Sure, okay"
She put down her hand and I gently rubbed the back of her head. She winced a bit. I petted her like Varday did. She smiled and flashed pink. She looked back at me as her ears twitched.
"OMG KISS KISS!" Mango cheered
"WHAT?! NO!" Char changed bright red, "W-we-we are j-just friends!"
I quickly turned away and rubbed my arm. We were both turning different shades of red. Mango started pouting.
"Aww I thought I was gonna see some lovey dovey stuff. Oh well, I guess I can get a shot too right cutie?"
I began fidgeting around. Char threw a pillow at him.
"Stop it, you are embarrassing him!" Char whined
"Aw, come on Char. How can I help it? He's so CUTE! Even you'll agree with me."
Char was at a loss for words as she hid her face in her other pillow. Varday, Jazzy, Chizel, and Robin started laughing. Leon just smiled and rubbed his arm.
"You think so too right Leon?" Mango smirked, "I see you getting all shy!"
"WHAT?! NOO! Y-Y-YOU'RE A SP-SP-SPLATTING IDIOT!" Leon turned dark red, "I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Aww what's wrong Leon? Are you embarrassed?" Mango teased, "Good cuz you look even CUTER!"
"ARGHH! SPLAT ME!"
"Anyways let's have some cake" Mango beamed, "I got it specially for everyone"
"Chizel, I thought you both were going to get the cake," Varday suggested
"I couldn't keep up with him…" Chizel sighed, "He got there before I did…"
Mango began passing out the slices of cake. I took a bite and smiled. It was very good.
"Hey this is very good! What kinda of cake is this?" I asked
"Like it? It's mango… You can come with me and taste some more..." Mango giggled
Leon spat his cake up. Everyone made a face, and I turned bright red. Mango was having a blast.
"OMG I'm just kidding! HAHAHA!" Mango was laughing so hard he was changing color, "I got you all so good! It is mango though, but not 'that' Mango. HAHAHAHA!"
"ARGHH!" Leon threw his slice at Mango, "I inking lost my appetite because of you!"
"It does look tasty… but I can't really move my arms" Char smiled as she struggle to put her plate down, "So I'll pass-"
"Wait here," I took a piece of her cake on her spoon and brought it to her mouth.
"Dylan… you don't have to…" She flashed pink and moved back a bit
"Come on it's the least I can do… So here…"
She flashed pink again and took the spoon in her mouth. She sheepishly smiled at me. I began feeding her. Mango happily watched us. In fact, I think everyone was and I got even more embarrassed with them watching. When I finally finished, Mango clapped.
"Oh Char, aren't you going to thank him?" Mango smirked, "With say, a kiss? Hmmm?!"
Char turned bright red. I just looked at him and back to Char. I began blushing.
"IDIOT!" Leon threw a fork at him, "Quit making this awkward!"
"Ouchies… Come on just a peck on the cheek!" Mango dodged another fork
Char threw a pillow at Mango and he fell over. Varday walked over to Mango and helped him up.
"Come on I believe it's time for us to head back to work now" Varday replied as he dragged Mango away.
"Nooo! I haven't seen any lovey-dovey stuff yet!" Mango cried out as he got dragged out
"Shoot I need to go too" Ruby ran out, "If I'm late boss will have my tentacles for breakfast tomorrow."
Once everyone left we just chatted until we got tired. Char and Leon looked so much better from yesterday. Whatever Connie did, she's a genius. I will have to thank her and the other Octolings later. For now I will rest happy that Char and Leon will be okay.
-Author's Notes-
Well two chapters. Yay! This one is actually pretty longer than the others.
A Random Guy: The Pokemon story was just something I will get back to after one of the story is completed. It was an Idea I had for 5 years or so. But don't worry I will continue working on One Fateful Day. Thank you for your support. But please try not to post reviews on a story about another story. It kinda bothers me a bit. Lol just a mild pet-peeve.
Anyways how is it so far? Should I fix anything? Thanks for reading!
